I'm trying to implement calling colorbox items from a dropdown menu. Using this example, http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox/example4/, how could I simply call these links from a drop down menu? It seems to work fine in every browser except IE without any additional scripting. I'm sure it's going to be simple fix for anyone with true coding skills. Can anyone help me out?
I found something similar after a quick google search
I can't say whether or not this works, but why don't you give it a shot working this code into your jsfiddle, and I'll see if I can help you debug any issues that arise.
from: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/colorbox/OM85IPMoyP4
<select name="howheard" id="howheard" class="validate[required]">
<option value="http://example1.com">Example 1</option>
<option value="http://example2.com">Example 2</option>
<option value="http://example3.com">Example 3</option>
</select>
EDIT: updadate colorbox() init:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#howheard").change(function () {
var thisHref = $(this).val();
$.colorbox({iframe:true, width:"80%", height:"80%", href: thisHref});
});
});
</script>

Im trying to write a test that should check if an item in a is disabled.
The item is visible, but not clickable, and that's correct. But Im not sure how to write my test to make it pass this as correct.
My current test will fail due to not being able to select 'Create new'.
it('Not clickable', function() {
cy.visit(url);
cy.get('#dropDownMenu').should('be.visible', 'Choose...');
cy.get('#dropDownMenu').select('Create new').should('be.disabled');
})
How can I make my test find and understand that my select('Create new') should be disabled and that this is correct?
Here is the dropdownmenu html:
<select name="#dropDownMenu" id="dropDownMenu"
data-ng-change="$ctrl.onSelectdropDownMenu()"
data-ng-model="$ctrl.handleDropDownMenuOptions.val"
class="ng-pristine ng-valid ng-not-empty ng-touched">
<option data-ng-repeat="option in
$ctrl.handleDropDownMenuOptions.availableOptions"
data-ng-disabled="option.disabled"
value="NOT_SELECTED" disabled="disabled">Choose...</option>
<option data-ng-repeat="option in
$ctrl.handleDropDownMenuOptions.availableOptions" data-ng-
disabled="option.disabled" value="NEW" disabled="disabled">Create
new</option>
This solved it:
cy.get('#dropDownMenu').get('[value="NEW"]').should('be.disabled');
I have a working dropdown menu, and I can send its value to a function using "submit" button. It's quite clumsy however, as user always has to press the button, wait for the page to load and it refreshes the page so the user loses all other "settings" made on the page. I have understood that ajax would be the solution for this. I read the guide: http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/11/jquery-and-ajax#The-ajax-function and tried a few methods, but it never works.
So this is my original working code. Some contents are stripped and altered, but the basics are the same. View demo.html:
<form action="change_dropdown">
<select name="tables">
<option value="first_value">first</option>
<option value="second_value">second</option>
<option value="third_value">third</option>
</select>
<br><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
Action:
def change_dropdown():
if request.vars.tables:
session.tables = request.vars.tables
else:
session.tables = None
session.main_warning= "Incorrect parameters for function: 'change_dropdown()'."
redirect(URL('demo'))
return
Then the original action demo does something with session.tables and so on. But now about turning it to ajax. This is what I want:
<form>
<select name="tables", onchange="ajax('change_dropdown', [], '');">
<option value="first_value">first</option>
<option value="second_value">second</option>
<option value="third_value">third</option>
</select>
</form>
I also did this to the action: redirect(URL('demo'), client_side=True) as mentioned in an example. I have no idea why it's needed however.
But I don't know how to send the variable tables to the action. If I write it inside python URL helper, it crashes, because it thinks it's a python variable (where it's actually a JavaScript variable (?)). If I write it inside ajax() function's second parameter, it halts and gives me a weird error in JS console:
Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [name=[object HTMLSelectElement]]
If you need more information I can show you full codes for the methods I tried, but I think someone can take it from here.
You can send the variable as follows:
ajax("{{=URL('change_dropdown')}}",['tables'],':eval')
redirect(URL('demo'), client_side=True) is needed as you want to redirect the function that have sent the ajax request to redirect not 'change_dropdown' to redirect.
EDIT:
<form>
<select name="tables", onchange="ajax(\"{{=URL('change_dropdown')}}\",['tables'],':eval') ;">
<option value="first_value">first</option>
<option value="second_value">second</option>
<option value="third_value">third</option>
</select>
</form>
How to write Ajax code to retrieve information on to a particular part of webpage when we select option from a dropdown box?
I want information of a particular item that I had selected from a dropdown menu on particular part of my webpage.
Let's say your markup looks something like:
<select id="dropdown">
<option value="1">Some option</option>
<option value="2">Other option</option>
<option value="3">Helpfull option</option>
<option value="4">Don't pick this option</option>
</select>
<div id="details"></div>
In order to make AJAX calls I would use some sort of library. Using for instance jQuery will be much easier than writing code that handles ajax calls across different browsers. The code could look like this:
$('#dropdown').on('change', function(e) {
var currentValue = $('#dropdown').val();
$.get('<someurl>', function(data) {
$('#details').html(data);
});
};
Replace '<someurl>' with the url to the resource you want. Doing this without using jQuery or similar library is a bit more involved. For some guidance you can look at this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2557268/355499
I do mostly PHP programming, but am stuck on an Ajax problem since I do not know Javascript or Ajax very well at all. I have a combo select menu right now and I would like to hide the third select menu (direction) if the first choice is = 'train'. I read that some browsers do not support the hide function, so the next best option is to keep the third select menu disabled when the second option is chosen assuming the first is train. If it is bus, then the third select menu should still show. Here is my javascript right now and as I'm sure you can imagine it doesn't work.
$(document).ready(function(){
if ($("select#agency").attr('value') == 'cta-train') {
$("select#direction").attr("disabled","disabled");
}
$("select#route").attr("disabled","disabled");
$("select#agency").change(function(){
$("select#route").attr("disabled","disabled");
$("select#route").html("<option>wait...</option>");
var id = $("select#agency option:selected").attr('value');
$.post("select_route.php", {id:id}, function(data){
$("select#route").removeAttr("disabled");
$("select#route").html(data);
});
});
});
$(document).ready(function(){
if ($("select#agency").attr('value') == 'cta-train') {
$("select#direction").attr("disabled","disabled");
}
else {
$("select#direction").attr("disabled","disabled");
$("select#route").change(function(){
$("select#direction").attr("disabled","disabled");
$("select#direction").html("<option>wait...</option>");
var id = $("select#route option:selected").attr('value');
$.post("select_direction.php", {id:id}, function(data){
$("select#direction").removeAttr("disabled");
$("select#direction").html(data);
});
});
}
});
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Seems like you dont want ajax, you want to use javascript to hide a select if another select has a certain element in it. Then use your ajax to file the select as needed. Here is an example of that http://jsfiddle.net/2FQwQ/
<select id='direction'>
<option value='train'>train</option>
<option value='car'>car</option>
<option value='pogo stick'>pogo stick</option>
<select>
<select id='agency'>
<option value='1'>1</option>
<option value='2'>2</option>
<option value='3'>3</option>
<select>
<select id='route'>
<option value='1'>1</option>
<option value='2'>2</option>
<option value='3'>3</option>
<select>
Script
//SEts your html up to hide the secelt if train
function amITrain() {
if ($('#direction').val() === "train"){
$('#route').hide();
$('#route').attr('disabled');
}else{
$('#route').show();
$('#route').removeAttr('disabled');
}
}
$('#direction').change(amITrain);
//When you get the ajax back, you would fill the select like this, then call the function
$('#direction').html("<option value='train'>train</option><option value='car'>car</option> <option value='pogo stick'>pogo stick</option>");
amITrain();
So I have a listbox next to a form. When the user clicks an option in the select box, I make a request for the related data, returned in a JSON object, which gets put into the form elements. When the form is saved, the request goes thru and the listbox is rebuilt with the updated data. Since it's being rebuilt I'm trying to use delegation on the listbox's parent div for the onchange code. The trouble I'm having is with IE8 (big shock) not firing the delegated event.
I have the following HTML:
<div id="listwrapper" class="span-10 append-1 last">
<select id="list" name="list" size="20">
<option value="86">Adrian Franklin</option>
<option value="16">Adrian McCorvey</option>
<option value="196">Virginia Thomas</option>
</select>
</div>
and the following script to go with it:
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
var jsonreq = new Request.JSON();
$('listwrapper').addEvent('change:relay(select)', function(e) {
alert('this doesn't fire in IE8');
e.stop();
var status= $('statuswrapper').empty().addClass('ajax-loading');
jsonreq.options.url = 'de_getformdata.php';
jsonreq.options.method = 'post';
jsonreq.options.data = {'getlist':'<?php echo $getlist ?>','pkey':$('list').value};
jsonreq.onSuccess = function(rObj, rTxt) {
status.removeClass('ajax-loading');
for (key in rObj) {
status.set('html','You are currently editing '+rObj['cname']);
if ($chk($(key))) $(key).value = rObj[key];
}
$('lalsoaccomp-yes').set('checked',(($('naccompkey').value > 0)?'true':'false'));
$('lalsoaccomp-no').set('checked',(($('naccompkey').value > 0)?'false':'true'));
}
jsonreq.send();
});
});
(I took out a bit of unrelated stuff). So this all works as expected in firefox, but IE8 refuses to fire the delegated change event on the select element. If I attach the change function directly to the select, then it works just fine.
Am I missing something? Does IE8 just not like the :relay?
Sidenote: I'm very new to mootools and javascripting, etc, so if there's something that can be improved code-wise, please let me know too..
Thanks!
Element Delegation will not work on field elements (input/select/textarea) in IE's.
